The Orthodox Churches

The Holy Father's recent visits seem to point to a development in Catholic-Orthodox relations. The items on this new section provide a starting point.

It has been suggested to me that some people are unfamiliar with the
apostolic letter Orientale Lumen and encyclical letter Redemptoris Mater so I have included the full text of the former and relevant excerpts from the latter. Please note that any mistakes in the papal documents seen here are probably my own! I will be grateful to receive suggestions for further material for this section. I wish to avoid duplicating what other people are doing so I will be more than satisfied to provide links elsewhere where necessary.
